Who makes a 106 grain 6mm bullet?

Just a quick check in the Hornady app shows the 106 TAP and the 110 A-Tip with less drop and drift at 1000yds than the 106 DOD (A-Tip or clear polymer tip?).
 
Department Of Defense
That was my first guess, just not sure why they'd have a DoD specific bullet and I wasn't aware they used a 6mm round. I was an armorer in the USAF and we stored small arms for all branches...I never saw a 6mm cartridge, but that was 20 years ago so who knows.
 
"Hornady’s 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (ARC) is the first time in history that the commercial announcement of a cartridge was preceded by adoption within the military. While Hornady has been extremely secretive about who adopted the cartridge, they can say that it is a “notable Department of Defense (DOD) entity.”
